Mike Tyson Can Cure Your Angry Birds Addiction [VIDEO]

Mike Tyson offers a one-step cure to Angry Birds addiction in the promo above for his new Animal Planet show, Taking on Tyson.

Speaking uncharacteristically softly, the former champ exhibits some tough love to an iPad-toting geek in the throes of a Birds binge. For those interested, the cure is also available for the iPad 2.

Tyson and the Animal Planet may seem an odd fit, but Tyson enjoys pigeon racing, a passion that the show explores in some detail. Tyson, who had a well-received turn in The Hangover, appears to be making a George Foreman-esque image change from scary and unhinged to approachable and friendly. You can also see the kinder, gentler Tyson in this interview with Mashable Editor-in-Chief Adam Ostrow at South by Southwest.
